Sarah Everard/Women’s safety

[imtommygunn]

It does make you wonder how they haven't been able to find more in that Noah Donohue case.

This case is horrendous

The body of Sarah Everard was identified through her dental records after her remains were found inside a builder's bag, it emerged in court.

Grim.

Had he burnt the body to hinder identification?  Why the need to use dental records?

Was wondering what happened the body myself.  To carry out a murder is going to get harder and harder with the advances of technology - everybody has mobile phones, all cars will eventually have dash cams, doorbells have cameras and CCTV coverage is increasing.  Add in the fact that your phone and car both potentially have GPS, means that you are going to have to be very smart or very lucky to get away with murder.  I heard that the key evidence that led the police to Couzens was the CCTV of a bus I never even thought of as having a camera.

Good call. Saw headline of article on the twitter, didnt overly read it, about how the serial killer is a thing of the past, due to all the above, and although im sure theyre still about its def gettin harder for them as you say.
Be interesting to see if yer man Couzens was one....

Yet man Couzens was obviously off the rails, didn't he indecently expose himself in a McDonalds a few days before abducting Sarah Everard?

Think when it's in them they aren't too concerned about CCTV and getting caught

Disgusting scenes last night. I've said it before and I'll say it again- police are the absolute lowest of the low.

How do you police a banned gathering?

Before you jump in, how this police force dealt with it was atrocious.

True, that's the narrative that will come to the fore in the coming days as well after the initial disgust at the Police subsides. You're in lockdown or you're not, exceptionalism creates mixed messages.

Ideally the same way they 'policed' the Shankill/George Sq in Glasgow ie an escort or in the case of the Shankill road just pretend it's happening altogether

It's a bit like the psni mess up on the ormeau road. Difference being that was friends and family of the victims. Don't know who all these people in London are.

Chatting to my sister yesterday about this case, she's in the psychology business. While by no means trying to make any excuses for this murder she was pointing out if Couzen's had 20+ years police service with no issues and no criminal record should the MET not have taken the indecent exposure case a lot more serious, has this guy went completely off the rails and if proper psychological assessment been carried out would he have been getting the help needed instead of committing murder. Will be a lot of questions when his trial comes up.

Don't think he was in the police that long, he was a mechanic until joining the police around 10 years ago.

I'd say rapists, murderers, thieves, and many more would be much lower. You know, criminals like...

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

That vigil was stupid in the circumstances. The police response even more stupid.

Aye, think he was only a cop for ten years in total.

What is really striking about this apart from the murder is the female reaction. The police are on the back foot following Saturday's heavy handedness. The politicians are trying to keep up with the public.
